Situated on the east entrance of Regent's Park with easy access to central London, the Royal College of Physicians' Grade I listed HQ houses a museum, gallery, seminar and lecture halls, meeting rooms, curated gardens and banquet suite.
Discover 500 years of history, medicine, art and architecture with a tour of the RCP by expert museum staff and our specialist partners, Discover Medical London.
The RCP archives contain oral history recordings of physicians of the past and a new project is recording the memories of current members and fellows. They document personal tales as well as seminal moments in medical – and world – history.
The RCP was founded in 1518, and in our 500th year we’re taking the opportunity to look back on the history of medicine as well as to the future of healthcare.
The RCP museum welcomes all types of donations related to the history of medicine, including instruments, equipment, photographs, artwork and medical teaching models.
The Royal College of Physicians library holds more than 100 volumes stolen from John Dee during his lifetime, the largest single collection of Dee’s books in the world.
